DOVER WATER DEPT is one of 153 community water systems in Tennessee in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 4,037 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 4 entries between 1982 and 1996, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1996.
Of the 4, 3 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves inorganic chemicals and the Total Coliform Rules.
